Restricting feed intake to a moderate growth rate in developing gilts before they reach 135 kg may help prevent excessively heavy gilts. However, restricting feed intake during the growing phase is extremely difficult because most modern facilities are designed to use pens for developing replacement gilts. Previously, Schneider et al. (2007) observed that gilts fed 6 times daily during the first 42 d of gestation tended to have greater ADG than gilts fed 2 times daily; however, this response was not found in sows. Similar research has not been conducted with developing gilts or finishing pigs. The objective of this study was to determine whether increasing the number of meals from 2 to 6 per day would increase ADG in restricted-fed pings in a group housing environment.
